How do you know when to introduce your significant other to your children?

Knowing when you're ready to introduce your significant other to your children is when everybody is ready. Not just when you're ready, not just when that significant other is ready, but also when your children are ready. Another important factor to consider is what's going on in your family's life at that time.

If there's a lot of chaos or a lot of stress, such as you're going through a move, or children are struggling in school, or there's been a death, it’s probably not the best time to have that conversation. So look at the whole picture when talking about things that might change your children's lives.
